On February 8 1983, The Fiji Times published a story of how parents ousted the headteacher of a school in Labasa.
It was reported that the Ministry of Education removed the headteacher of a Government school near Labasa after 400 children boycotted classes and sat outside with their parents demanding the teacher’s removal.
The deputy headteacher at St Augustine’s Primary School at Wailevu, Labasa, Daya Nand, would act as the headteacher until a replacement is named.
